Links and Study Resources
Live links: For VRML from course, look at "molecules" below; for JAVA used as examples in class, see "Boids" below.
- [Color vision] A tutorial with a simple demonstration of color mixing in Java. Look at the additive primary tutorial and the subtractive primary tutorial. A very nice example of color filters is also there.
- [Color vision] A short summary of color vision.
- [Color vision] Provided by the same University, a discussion of color variant vision.
- [BROKEN LINK - Color vision] A more complete set of applets allows one to see how the spectral colors are converted into a perceived color. In particular, check out "Different Lights That Look the Same".
- [Waves] Visualization of waves
